The Hospital Murders

"The Hospital Murders" by Means Davis is a mystery that takes us to Elijah Wilson Hospital, where a string of strange deaths makes everyone think something bad is going on. We follow Dr. Ethridge Sterling, Junior, a young doctor, who has to deal with tough medical situations and what's right and wrong while all this is happening. The book starts by showing us the busy hospital and the people who work there, especially Dr. Sterling when he gets a worrying call about a patient who isn't awake. This unnamed patient, Sophie Merriweather, comes to the hospital under weird conditions and she is linked to a powerful attorney-general, which makes things even more political. As Dr. Sterling looks after her and starts to have feelings in his heart, the story hints that things are getting more tense because people are dying in the hospital under suspicious circumstances. This sets the scene for a story about right and wrong, medical rules, and maybe even a murderer hiding in the hospital.
